Luke Bozier has given a statement to Josh Halliday about his email account being “maliciously accessed”:

“Deeply private and personal information was posted on the web, and allegations of illegal activity were made. I cut short a trip to the United States on the 6th [December] to request that the Metropolitan police carry out investigations into the alleged illegal acts. As a result I was questioned by police on Friday 7 December. We live in a society of laws and of a justice system that seeks the truth while protecting all of our rights. While some have sought to place me on – as Lord Justice Leveson puts it – ‘trial by Twitter’ – I am engaging in the appropriate legal processes to clear my name. I am deeply aggrieved that it is possible that people can get away with computer hacking behaviour which, without any check, balance, or justification in law, can destroy lives. It is now up to the police to decide whether or not I have committed an illegal act. I am co-operating fully and assisting in their enquiries.”
